Impact The outfielder was a force on the basepaths in the seventh inning. He reached on a single, stole second and then stole third as part of a double-steal with Freddie Freeman. Acuna has been excellent in standard fantasy formats, as he's batted .284 with 17 home runs, 35 RBI, 46 runs scored and 11 steals through 52 games.

Huge game in losing effort Acuna went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a two-run home run, three additional runs scored and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 11-6 loss to the Nationals.

Impact His fifth-inning blast off Austin Voth gave him 17 homers on the year, moving him back into a tie with Vladimir Guerrero for the major-league lead. Acuna hadn't swiped a bag since May 9, but he's gone yard in consecutive games and five times in his last 10 contests, slashing .325/.417/.750 over that stretch with 10 runs and 11 RBI.

Plates run Tuesday Acuna went 1-for-5 with an RBI in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox.

Impact Acuna made his presence felt with his only knock, as he plated one of the team's three runs with an RBI double that scored Pablo Sandoval in the top of the sixth. Acuna has been sensational this season, but his numbers have regressed a bit of late and is hitting .167 with an .807 OPS over his last 10 appearances.

Launches 15th homer Acuna went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Pirates.

Impact He turned around the first pitch he saw from Mitch Keller for his league-leading 15th homer of the year, and the 22nd leadoff blast of his career. Five of those home runs have come in Acuna's last 10 games, but he's only 7-for-35 (.200) over that stretch with 15 strikeouts -- even when he's slumping, the 23-year-old superstar does plenty of damage.

Mashes 14th homer Acuna went 2-for-5 with a home run, five RBI and a second run scored in Friday's 20-1 rout of the Pirates.

Impact His second-inning grand slam off Tyler Anderson kicked Atlanta's offensive eruption into overdrive and was one of seven homers on the night for the team. Acuna is back in the big-league lead with 14 home runs to go along with six steals, 30 RBI, 36 runs and a .284/.388/.628 slash line through 41 games.
